#13 APRIL 2016 MILAN

NOW THE REAL WORK BEGINS (AND SOMEONE’S GOT TO DO IT) I recently saw a remarkable TED Talk online by American economist Robert Gorden, who states that our economy is over its peak, because we will never be able to match the stream of innovations of the last 150 years. According to Gorden, economic growth is only maintained artificially by, for example, creating money. Inventions like electricity in the home, the petrol engine or the Internet have brought about great changes in society. This has resulted in a great deal of work, also for designers. New materials brought new trends and new production lines; technology gave rise to new needs and, therefore, new machines. Inventions on that scale will not take place again, predicts Gorden. But if that’s true, and pioneering innovations fail to materialise, will designers have to find a new line of work? Yes and no. The development and design of the final product may no longer evolve, but use of materials, production process, our relationship with modern technology, and our quality of life leave much to be improved. Now the real work begins. Designers have long since taken this path and dare to propose radical ideas. And at Milan Design Week, there is more and more room for discussion of and reflection on social issues. During Milan Design Week, I would suggest you not only allow yourself to be tempted by beauty (that too!), but also allow yourself to be inspired by new solutions to today’s problems.

And yes, we’ve all returned to Milan; the international design scene is here to refresh itself with the best coffee and finest food of any design event. The city is exploding with the latest innovations and trends for implements and appliances, and currently also with more and more socially committed exhibitions on current dilemmas. To give a few Dutch examples: the collaborative exhibition ‘Money, Meat and Cosmetic Surgery’, by designers Bora Hong, Rolf Bruggink and Isaac Monté, who each in their own way address today’s habits of consumption (34 p.16 & p.19). The ‘Touch Base’ presentation by Design Academy, about an opposing view to the excess of technology (54 p.21). The HKU addresses the presentday issue of uprooted refugees (40 p.17). And Meike Fleskens, who presents Capsel at ‘The Alternative’; she proposes making clothing out of our own hair (25 p.13 & p.14). And there is so much more. The Dots includes all Dutch presentation. Thirteen designers were selected to stand close in front of the camera of photographer Boudewijn Bollmann, which resulted in nine intimate images. The portraits and interviews are included throughout the guide. This year, The Dots is more visible than ever thanks to the iconic dispenser by Italian-Dutch brand Felicerossi. These keep The Dots neat and even easier to find.

MASTERLY

Text: Annemiek van Grondel Photography: Boudewijn Bollmann The work of Siba Sahabi (1979) appeals to the eye and simultan eo usly evokes the sound of poetry recited in one ear and music in the other. But it not only gives a sensory effect, it also carries a message. ‘I see mys elf as a poetic designer’, says the German/ Iranian designer who lives and works in Amsterdam. ‘Design to me means

interacting with relevant themes in an attempt to express cross-cultural exchange, both in space and time. Through my work I want to point out positive effects of “melting pots” and show how cultures can influence each other and how this can lead to new expressions.’ A passion for crafts permeates the designs of Sahabi, whose Iranian grandmother knotted traditional carpets and whose parents run a Persian carpet store. Her grad u ation project at the

Gerrit Rietveld Academy was based on Persian carpets and a comparison between traditional and so-called ‘modern nomads’. Sahabi translates cultural heritage into contemporary design through both an interpretation of historical forms and materials, and concepts. For instance, she designed Mudéjar, a partition screen that connects Middle Eastern and European aesthetics through shared history. Mudéjar, made out a mix of resin and

chalk, looks like concrete. ‘The room divider is inspired by the window grates of Andalucian architecture and is based on a simp lifi cation of the traditional Moorish patterns’, Sahabi explains. ‘The so-called “Mudéjar style” consists of constructive and decorative Middle Eastern forms combined with Spanish building materials such as brick, iron and plaster.’ At Rossana Orlandi’s gallery, Mudéjar will be on show next to Al-Andalus,

SIBA SAHABI

g ular pieces. a chess-set with trian Al-Andalus is both a spec t a tor and the protag o nist in the self-titled, carefully composed film Sahabi made in close collab o ration with others. ‘I work with cinematog raphers, photographers, composers, dancers and choreographers on a regular basis’, she says. ‘I started to work with other media because I wanted to express the context of my designed objects. Working with moving images gives

me the opportunity to visualize my researchin a narrative way. Collaborations are like conversa tions; they evolve through the input of different ideas and perspectives.’ • www.sibasahabi.com • See Siba Sahabi at the Milan Design Week at gallery Rossana Orlandi and Plus Design Gallery.

Text: Annemiek van Grondel Photography: Boudewijn Bollmann His ‘impossible’ experiments gave many a craftsman a headache. Award-winning self-producing designer and inventor Arnout Visser (1962) calls himself a ‘form finder’: a functional artist who explores the boundaries of autonomous art, industrial design and experimental science. His star shone early: at the age of 19 he won a design competition with an ingenious lamp, which was promptly taken into mass production. After studying at

the dots #13

ArtEZ in Arnhem and Domus Academy in Milan Arnout Visser was welcomed into Droog Design, with successful little wonders such as Table Tap, Fruit on Wheels and Salad Sunrise. Nowadays he prefers to go back to the source: working directly with artisans and glass companies, being involved from A to Z. Although he also uses ceramics, wood and other materials, glass is the ultimate for him. ‘I foresee a “Glass Age”: the tensile strength is unprecedented. I am euphoric to see something big come about after many failures. In fifteen minutes a glassmaker has to get the job done, and

that’s hard, hard work. No robot is able to defeat his lungs, yet. A glassb lower is a combination of a heart surgeon and helicopter pilot.’ Visser’s Big Mushrooms, who vary in colour, from cool to warm, and providing a mind-blowing experie nce, can be admired at two exhibitions in Milan. The shape arose using antique optical moulds, which caused interesting irregularities. The glass designs came about through intensive research and experimenting in the Czech Republic. More specifically: Bohemia. Where else than in an area with such a name could magic

mushrooms originate? The spirited Visser has traits of a bohemian hims elf, but thanks to his knowledge of the laws of physics, he keeps both feet firmly on the ground. Nevertheless, he likes defying design laws. The Mushroom Lamp is twice as large as what is regarded as normal. Visser: ‘It’s not possible, I often hear from artisans. If you do something every day, you develop a blind spot for it. My challenge is to immerse myself in research and experiment in order to prove them wrong.’ Inventing can also mean creating something new out of something old.

ARNOUT VISSER

Visser is a master of upcycling: he made a floor lamp from old dishes and plates, and lamps from eyeg lasses and con tainer glass. In inferior glass packaging he sees quality. He regularly helps out in a Kenyan glass factory, set up by German hippies, which provides locals with work. ‘With waste oil as fuel they use melted window glass to make products that are full of bubbles and pits. A Venetian glassblower would be knocked over backw ards in horror, but we appreciate this so-called “bush glass”.’ He also provided African women with a mould to make buttons out of glass. ‘Big

companies enrich themselves by having their products made in low-wage countries,’ he says. ‘I prefer to help locals making something they can sell themselves. Although I realize it is just a drop in the ocean.’ • www.arnoutvisser.com • See Arnout Visser at the Milan Design Week at The Alternative in Zona Tortona and at Masterly – The Dutch in Milano.

D agency and the business side of things An interview with founder Guus van Maarschalkerweerd and designers Geke Lensink and Thomas Eurlings

Clockwise: Mieke Meijer (36 p.16 & p.18), Jesse Visser (12 p.8), Guus van Maarschalkerweerd, Roderick Vos (03, 16, 24, p.5, p. 8, p.12), Friso Dijkstra, Geke Lensink and Thomas Eurlings (03 p.5)

Interview: Renske Schriemer Photography: Jan Willem Kaldenbach D agency is an agency in which six of the Netherlands’ best designers have joined forces. This seems to be a golden opportunity, but why did this not happen sooner? This is a conversation with Guus van Maarschalkerweerd and two of the designers. Renske Schriemer The website tells us you are a mediator between industry and design. Why had an agency for designers in the Netherlands not been set up sooner? Guus van Maarschalkerweerd That‘s a good question. It‘s not for lack of interest from designers. What has be come clear to me over the past few years is that creatives need support on the business side of things, from acquisition to negotiating fees and concluding contracts. This allows them to focus on what they‘re good

at: designing. But an agency like that – a phenomenon that has been around for, for example, photographers and models for many years – doesn‘t become a success overnight. It takes time to invest in relationships. I am able to do this because I work with both designers and clients every day in my role as creative consultant, recruiter and matchmaker at DesignConnector. This forms the foundation for the success of D agency, plus the unique talents of the six designers that I represent, of course. RS They are listed on the D agency website, but they can also be contacted directly. Why would clients go through D agency? GvM Our agency is a one-stop-shop for clients, one central point for different tastes and design styles. In the initial stage, there is also one contact person, which makes it a lot more transparent. After a meeting to discuss

the requirements, I look for the best designer(s) for the assignment. This eliminates a pitch, and therefore saves time and money. D agency also takes care of the financial agreements and contracts, so there can be no subsequent discussion about that. The designers at D agency each have their own qualities, from technical to conceptual. They are all experts of industrial design, of developing a product from A to Z and marketing it. RS Acquisition is usually not designers’ greatest hobby; was that a motivation to join D agency? Thomas Eurlings Yes, but having a business representative is also very useful. As a designer, you often want to get right down to it and present your ideas before negotiations have even been concluded. That‘s not always wise. Guus undertakes this negotiation process for us, which really is an added value.

Geke Lensink But it is also obvious that we reinforce, inspire and support each other. And we also communicate a common message to the market – we are Dutch designers who have mastered the industrial production process. This is completely separate from the Dutch Design movement; it is something entirely different. RS What if one designers keeps getting all the assignments? Thomas Eurlings If clients specifically request a certain speciality for certain period of time, then that‘s the way it is, that come mainly from the client. RS Would it help to send Guus a bottle of wine every now and then to get more assignments? Thomas Eurlings No, I‘d rather pop open a bottle of champagne with him when we‘ve received a good assignment.

D AGENCY

RS What would be a dream assignment for you? Geke Lensink A close collaboration with a foreign client. One who gives me or us the opportunity to design and develop a product that will last for years and will be a best-seller in the international market. RS D agency will be attending Milan Design Week, but not with a presentation just yet; what will you be looking out for this year? GvM As crazy as it may sound, for me, Milan is a great moment for distancing myself. It‘s an enormous quantity of impulses and a feast in terms of beauty, good food and meeting extraordinary people. When I get home, I let everything sink in and that‘s when I see the trends emerge. And, of course, I‘m business-minded enough to view possible clients from a D agency perspective.

D agency D agency is the first agency for in dus trial designers in the Netherlands. It is an initiative of Guus van Maarschalkerweerd of DesignConnector and designers Geke Lensink and Thomas Eurlings. D agency is also the central point of contact for clients who are interested in working with a Dutch designer. The agency makes life easier for both clients and the designer, by carrying out negotiations and recording agreements. This allows designers to focus on what they are good at – the creative process. Current members of D agency are: Roderick Vos, Mieke Meijer, Friso Dijkstra, Thomas Eurlings, Geke Lensink and Jesse Visser. To view their profiles and for more information, see www.dagency.org.

Text: Annemiek van Grondel Photography: Boudewijn Bollmann With ‘Bottles Collection’, his graduation project at ArtEZ in Arnhem, Klaas Kuiken (1984) immediately garnered success. In a glass oven he developed himself, Kuiken blows archetypal green bottles into unique objects in varied shapes and shows them at many fairs and even in museums. Selling them worldwide helped the designer a great deal when starting his own company. Now, he is focussing on cast iron.

the dots #13

Designer, inventor and craftsman Kuiken is fascinated by artisanal and industrial techniques. The fact that the wooden airplane he built at a young age refused to fly, may have encouraged him to study electrical and mechanical engineering, before going to ArtEZ. But this background allowed him to developing the bottle machine himself. ‘I often watch Disc overy Channel’, Kuiken confesses. ‘You learn from old tech niques, seeing how things are made and developed. I want to combine crafts with technology.’

Travelling is important when looking for inspiration and sharing ideas. In Beijing, Kuiken and co-designer Dieter Volkers asked locals to help them to give the term ‘Made in China’ a different meaning by creating a product with a clear identity: a teapot made out of clay. They photographed the makers and documented their personal inform ation. A compilation of 3D scans resulted in one product, called ‘Made by someone in China’. For a resort in Zanzibar the Bottle-Up collective, in which Kuiken participated, was asked

to find a solution for glass waste, mainly caused by tourists. First he inspired locals to create souvenirs that tourists would appreciate. Then he noticed that in Africa there are only round grains of sand, unusable for building; ‘sharp’ sand is being shipped from Australia. So he began grinding glass into sand that is suitable for building. Kuiken: ‘Eindhoven University is now doing research on how his can be done in a more energy-efficient way. In the end a glass recycling system is better, but for now it’s a perfect solution.’

KLAAS KUIKEN

At Salone Satellite Kuiken and his small team are presenting multiple wood stoves made of cast iron. He looked around in a factory for truck turbochargers and forklift parts. ‘They work with polystyrene moulds’, he says. ‘In a sand container, liquid iron is cast into a funnel. That very light foam burns out and takes on the form. So you can cast iron into various shapes. The small components are incorporated in a truck and thus never visible. I wanted to cast iron in a cut foam in the shape of a stove. You can still see the structure of the fragile foam

in it.’ Kuiken hopes to persuade people in the furniture industry to make home accessories or connection parts, for example corner pieces for a tabletop, out of his attractive ‘foam structured iron’. • www.klaaskuiken.nl • See Klaas Kuiken at the Milan Design Week at the Furnishers Market, Zona Tortona and at Fiera.

Text: Annemiek van Grondel Photography: Boudewijn Bollmann Eindhoven was the place where she grew up, but instead of going to the Design Academy, Meike Fleskens (1988) decided to study fashion design in Arnhem. It turned out to be a wrong choice. After an intense nine-month solo trip around the world, she realised her next destination was Artemis, a school for all-round styling and design in Amsterdam. ‘Arnhem focused

mainly on extreme catwalk designs. I am more concerned with being mean ingful to the consumer’, Fleskens explains. She graduated with a series of textile trend books about the selfcentred attitude of people regarding fashion: the materials they use, the fast way in which clothes are discarded, the success of disc ounters Primark and H&M. Fleskens: ‘Gradually, we are becoming aware of the disadvantages of mass production and overconsumption. I focused mainly on identity: making

clothing more personal. Through customization you add value, and more awareness of what you wear. One of those books is about the evolution of man and his hair. In prehistoric times, furry skin was very important. My project Capsel (combination of the word ‘cap’ and the Dutch word for hairdo) is derived from that: a hat made from a boy’s long hair using felting techniques. It may be an alternative for wigs: to use your own hair or that of a loved one to create a cap.’

Different products made out of hair are being shown in Milan, in addition to the main book EGO (Essence General Outfit) and four trend books with different themes, like the evolution of men and the mixing of cultures, along with loose textile samples, attached with magnets in order to combine them with the images. Fleskens prefers natural, soft materials like wool, silk, cotton and hair to work with in her concept develo pment and styling projects, in which elements

MEIKE FLESKENS

like origin, storytelling, sustainability and tactility are interwoven. These are also relevant to her part-time job at the rapidly growing company Manus Machina. Within this large team of technicians who create gloves that serve as con trollers for video games and other VR purposes, she helps to design patterns for prototypes. In her own styling and fashion design she likes to keep it small and real. ‘I would like to further develop the Capselproject, for instance approach spinners

in India that I might employ. I want to compete with machines and prove that handmade products still have value. Indeed, they are a matter of the utmost importance!’ • www.me-ik.com • See Meike Fleskens at the Milan Design Week at The Alternative, Zona Tortona.

Text: Annemiek van Grondel Photography: Boudewijn Bollmann With his furniture design graduation project at the Academy of Art in The Hague, Rik ten Velden (1983) was catapulted into business. The Knotted Collection drew attention from the media and brought in a lot of orders. The idea for his Femme Chair, consisting of a single knotted rope around a steel frame, and Knotted Lamps popped up after visits to the Maritime Museum in Rotterdam.

the dots #13

There he received a crash course in knotting techniques used on ships from two older craftsmen. His diligence and patience were rewarded, but it took a little more patience to satisfy potential buyers. ‘A seat for one chair takes about twenty hours to produce’, Ten Velden informs. ‘After knotting miles and miles of rope myself, I decided to look for an opportunity to outsource. A rope manufacturer advised me to go to India, which turned out to be an exciting adventure but a failed endeavour.’

A call to his uncle, who runs a boat trip company in Lisbon, proved to be more fruitful. He was introduced to some marine people, started to train them in the knotting technique and gathered together a production team. Now, he sells about 90 percent of his furniture abroad, especially to French costumers, presumably thanks to the appealing Femme Chair name. ‘I’ve already sold about 150 chairs, even some to a Louis Vuitton resort in the Maldives’, he mentions with justifiable pride.

He finds it particularly interesting to work with craft techniques. Ten Velden: ‘Most of these have proved their value in centuries past. A handm ade product often brings with it solutions that are not possible with a machine.’ But designers always seek new experiences and challenges. So Ten Velden immersed himself in innov ative textile techniques at the Dutch Textile Museum. With avid curiosity, he seized upon their knitting machine. After a great deal of patience – again – a beautiful lamp

RIK TEN VELDEN

emerged: Urchin. It has at the same time an almost extra-terrestrial and a warm look, in short: atmospheric. Ten Velden: ‘Through the use of the material, you can determine the intensity of the light, which is decisive for the atmosp here in your home. But, of course, it must be attractive in switch-off mode as well.’ At Furnishers Market | The Alternative, a floor lamp, balancing on three high legs, a wall lamp and three hanging lamps will be pres ented, all with replaceable shades. In addition to this knitted collec

tion, the knotted collection is on show, as well as Selectors Cabinet, a steel frame filled with modular wooden cabinets, meant for DJ’s. Ten Velden: ‘It is my tribute to music, one of my main inspirations.’ • www.riktenvelden.com • See Rik ten Velden at the Milan Design Week at the Furnishers Market, Zona Tortona.

About Three designers discovered similarities in their work and joined forces, resulting in a presentation that raises eyebrows and provokes discussion. With their intriguing objects they react on social issues and transform overlooked problems into opportunities. Rolf presents Recycled Currency Seating Series: The Dollar Bench is made out of 4240 dollars bills, as a reaction on the shift of the dollar as the most important world currency. Cosmetic Surgery Kingdom by Bora, a series of iconic design chairs made out of old fifties chairs, reacts on cosmetic surgery. Isaac tackles the problem of food waste and overproduction with The Meat Project, a series of lamps made out of discarded meat.

Sun. 17 April till 17.00 Opening evening Wed. 13 Apr. 20.00 – 22.00

About Characteristic of Pieke Bergmans’ work method is her close study of existing production processes that she then manipulates and reworks. Using this approach she gives the material room to choose its own way. Pieke Bergmans had solo exhibitions in Milan, Paris, Miami, Sao Paulo etc. In 2014 the Noordbrabants Museum in s’Hertogenbosch showed a retrospective of her works. In 2013 Bergmans became ‘Designer of the Year’ in Brazil. Presentation For this exhibition Pieke Bergmans collaborated with technical specialists and will show works that are pro duced in series under her direction. Bergmans intervenes at a certain moment in the production process, so that the still freely moving shape is brought to a stop. Hence every object is unique. The result is a ‘frozen’ moment. ‘Free’ has become ‘Freeze’.

Text: Annemiek van Grondel Photography: Boudewijn Bollmann They do not call themselves design duo, but Mieke Meijer (1982) and Roy Letterle (1978) work together closely. They met fifteen years ago as students in Eindhoven and have been life partners ever since. Their research-based work – ‘furnitecture’, as they like to call it – is a loving marriage between craft and modern techniques, thoughtful designs distinguished by clear

lines, constructive imagery and industrial detail. Meijer’s Design Academy project Newspaperwood, ‘wood’ made out of newspapers, was further developed in a company of the same name, of which they are co-founders. They are currently cutting the paper wood into very thin veneer. It is only a matter of time before a product arises. Contextualising architecture is something the two did for the new exhibition Once Upon Design: New Routes for Ara-

bian Heritage in Sharjah, near Dubai. For four months, their Courtyard Culture will be on show – it is an installation that re-contextualizes regional courtyard architecture, with stairs, sitting corners and many cooling plants. Just like last year, Studio Mieke Meijer is presenting along with fellow designer Jeroen Wand in Prometeo Gallery (Via Ventura). This time, the exhibition stresses the differences between their designs. Meijer: ‘We made clear choices in what we are showing.

Jeroen exposes his identity through products in a kind of Wunderkammer setting, with imp ressions of his work place, testing and manufacturing processes. His work is intuitive with a raw edge, while ours is rational and minimalistic. Precisely this contrast makes a very surprising mix.’ Studio Mieke Meijer focuses on a construction principle, which emerged from the Airframe 01 project. The luminous building blocks are lightweight and covered with canvas. The user

MIEKE MEIJER, JEROEN WAND

determines the size and how it is applied, from tiny to space filling. Letterle: ‘It shows a development in our work that focuses on the area between product and space. We are doing less and less product design, and focusing more on spatial interventions.’ The title ‘Maybe blue would have been better’ indicates the continuous designer dilemma of choices, the uncertainties in the design process, where and how to present, is it too functional or not at all, sustainable enough, the

right colour, the right market? Meijer: ‘In Milan, I want to discuss this with visitors. Designers sometimes live in a kind of bubble. There should be more room for dialogue.’ • www.miekemeijer.com • See Studio Mieke Meijer at the Milan Design Week at Ventura Lambrate. Find more information at page 16, presentation 36.

Three designers discovered similarities in their work and joined forces, resulting in a challenging presentation that raises eyebrows and provokes discussion. Their work is characterized by reconstruction, recycling, rebuilding and reviving of old things into design that is related to contemporary socio-economic issues and that finds its origin in boundless curiosity.

‘Rolf Bruggink: House of Rolf’, a.k.a. studio rolf.fr, is fascinated by methods of making, both modern and old school. Bruggink (1969), who graduated in architecture and urban planning, combines objects and elements to have these interact with each other visually and/or technic ally. In Milan he is presenting his Recycled Currency Seating Series: benches and a bowl made out of hundreds American dollars and Euros. Bruggink explains: ‘Shifting econ omic forces from the West to the (Middle) East and the digitization of payments will inevitably lead to a surplus of

dollar bills. Solution: to recycle the money into furniture.’ A way of saving, one could say, but above all a call to rethink and embrace reality. Bora Hong (1979) reflects on another contemporary issue: altering beauty and body manipulation. For her Cosmetic Surgery Kingdom series she disassembled and even pulverized simple massproduced chairs and transformed these into design classics, like icons from Rietveld, Breuer and Eames. Will the new one be the improved one or does this plastic surgery not succeed in competing with the original? ‘The pressure

of being perfect is a big social issue in South Korea’, Hong says. ‘I think it’s interesting to compare cosmetic surgery to iconic culture in design.’ True beauty is on the inside, according to Isaac Monté (1988). Still, manipulation is fruitful. He plunged into the shadowy world of synthetic biology, in particular decellularization, a lab technique used for organ transplantation. The Art of Deception consists of so-called ghost organs, in this case pig hearts, manipulated into design objects; some tattooed, others breathing and lightening up when approached. Monté raises the question

whether such a creation of inner beauty – the ultimate deception – is possible and legitimate. The same laboratory treatment is used in The Meat Project, now focussing on discarded meat, made into a new material, which can be shaped and dried. The result: lighting objects in a shape inspired by the E. coli bacteria that causes meat spoilage. Monté: ‘Look at the enorm ous amounts of food that are thrown away daily in supermarkets. This project is a reaction to waste and, more specifically, food waste.’ There is too little space here to elaborate on these fascinating subjects.

Not an obvious choice, given the road he had to travel, but it is exactly this background that will determine the essence of his design practice. Presentation 1 Hozan Zangana is inspired by language, heritage and rituals; essential elements in our world that do not occupy any physical space. Zangana’s objects offer a new life to old heritages. Presentation 2 The breathtaking antique salons of Palazzo Francesco Turati will host a presentation where the creations of over 125 Dutch designers dialogue with exquisite Dutch Golden Age paintings. Masterly is here to show how the extant Dutch scene has successfully transferred handcraft techniques from its past tradition to contemporary design. curated by Nicole Uniquole

Studio Roex About Jaro Kose studied industrial and interior design. Beginning his career working for Marcel Wanders, he later went on to create his own design studio Jaro Kose. He now collaborates with companies such as Tjep and Bleijh, imparting a playful and sophis ticated take on functional objects. Jaro reinvents what could be com monplace into pieces that relay his passionate outlook on design and creativity. Presentation Collection of six: Kose believes that artistry happens in the invisible space; between the object and its user. Well designed “space” builds relation and this is reflected in his presentation. Chair, stool, lamps and whisk are transformed into the spatial design.

About Studio Roex is a furniture and product design studio based in Amsterdam. ‘Immediate acceptance of the presented objects is not the purpose of our work. The designs confront the viewer with familiar and estab lished processes, elements, shapes and techniques, in a transparent manner. We want to increase people’s awareness of what they see, heightening their ability (and desire) to understand it.’

About Design Academy Eindhoven is a school of change. It offers a four-year Bachelor’s course and a two-year Master’s course and has an impressive, international team of department heads and tutors. The DNA of Design Academy Eindhoven can be described as conceptual, authentic, creative, flexible, free, passionate and curious. We aim to educate idealistic, reflective, critical and ethically conscious design professionals who are able to function as agents of change and, as such, to design alternatives that pave the way forward. Presentation In a world where our sense of touch is numbed and sexualised, DAE reconnects with tactility to explore the counter-movement our students are shaping in response to technology. It reveals their hunger for a more tactile surrounding in an era where screens, apps, and email dictate how we live and communicate.

Text: Annemiek van Grondel Photography: Boudewijn Bollmann Nic Roex (1981) and Jeske Kapitein (1982) are life and business partners. She handles commercial and PR af fairs, he takes care of design conc ept and execution. Their best produ ct is on its way – they are expecting a child in August. They are keeping the gender of the baby a surprise. Reasonable, as most of the work of Studio Roex arouses curiosity and surprise. The first products were

already like that, as the objects of Roex’s graduation collection from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague in 2009 prove; the Car Bonnet Seat, in which elements of a bonnet were used, and the Spade Bench, garden furniture in which the seating consists of a scoop. These are objects that already have an existing form and that, by being placed in a new context or being slightly altered, acquire another visual language and meaning, and sometimes even offer themselves up as a new solution. Playing with existing forms, techniques and materials by

placing them outside of the traditional context, is an important characteristic of the designs of Studio Roex. Down-toearth designs with a playful spirit and an aesthetic appearance. After an internship at Piet Hein Eek, Roex set up his studio in Amsterdam in 2010, and Kapitein joined as a partner three years later. Due to her commercial background, the studio gradually shifted its course from making artistic oneoff pieces to conquering the consumer market. Bestsellers in the collection are Plumber’s Piece, a leather vase with

a flexible rubber membrane, and Dutch Mash, a potato masher in the form of the Netherlands. ‘We want as many people to come into contact with our products as possible, so it was a logical step to choose this direction’, Kapitein says. ‘Since then, we’ve also been working more closely with labels and have taken on more comm ercial assignments, providing that they fit into our vision of design.’ Where possible, they work with local producers and sustainable materials. For the Plumber’s Piece, they

JESKE KAPTEIN, NIC ROEX

chose to keep the production in the Netherlands, since so many Dutch production companies in the leather sector are disappearing. Roex: ‘This way, we have more control over production and material usage. Currently we are investigating how fibres of vegetable-tanned leather residue can be transformed into a new material in the form of a cons tructive solid intermediate product. Hopefully, one day we will be able to use the residual vegetable leather in sheet material for constructive applications.’

At Ventura Lambrate (Camper 2 - 3) Studio Roex is presenting an overview of the entire oeuvre, including the latest Streamlined light and chair (a stylish, organic tribute to plywood) and the Tubus table and bench (a surprising application of steel). • www.studioroex.com • See Studio Roex at the Milan Design Week at Ventura Lambrate.

Text: Annemiek van Grondel Photography: Boudewijn Bollmann Rooms dressed like models? It sounds strange and impractical, yet this was what textile designer Roos Soetekouw (1984) had in mind when she was given the opportunity to decorate several rooms in the new Hotel The Exchange, in the heart of Amsterdam in 2010, just after graduating from the Amsterdam Fashion Institute. She created eight interiors, each with a completely different atmosp here, from the Eighties

the dots #13

Room and New Rembrandt Room to Room of Mis u nderstood Creatures. Soetekouw: ‘A dream job with no restrictions, I could do whatever I wanted. The owners selected me because of my graduation project, which consisted of an emotion-based clothing collection with references to various eras: a sort of time capsule, dropped in a cabinet of curiosities.’ There were only two small requests: please take the house keepers into consideration and make certain things fireproof. Right, but also theft-proof?

Soetekouw: ‘Amazingly enough, except for one curtain hanger, nothing from the interior has disappeared into a suitcase, yet.’ Check! A beautiful environment compels respect. Soetekouw focuses on interior design projects. ‘Fashion is fleeting: too many collections per year. A chair has a greater chance of survival.’ At fairs her Skinn and Fringe col lections are sold well. Soetekouw’s style is colourful and detailed, with a hint of nostalgia, and she does not shun experimentation. ‘Mixing materials is

the best thing there is. In fashion and the textile industry everything must now be as simple and basic as possible. I’m trying to prove otherwise, for instance by manipu lating materials. How does a polyester yarn react when woven together with mohair, for example?’ One may call into question the production and coloration of synthetic materials, but the process of making wool and silk also has an environmental impact. ‘By making use of both natural and synthetic materials I am trying to

explore the boundaries of this versatile and difficult discussion’, explains Soetekouw, whose graduation project was about the pros and cons of dyeing textiles with plants. On show at Ventura Lambrate: the Skinn Collection (throws and tapestry as algae) and the Funghi! Collection (placemats, towels and a runner). Curious about the possibility of mak ing dyes out of these materials, the designer studied bio-based materials intensively. ‘I want to show people that beauty lies in everything. People might

not be inclined to eat mold, but exposed it is so beautiful! I definitely want to experiment more in this area. Someday, I am going to create really useful textiles out of fungus.’ • www.roossoetekouw.nl • See Roos Soetekouw at the Milan Design Week at Ventura Lambrate.
